Four detained in Valdivia car check; 119 grams of cannabis seized
Carabineros detained four adults during a vehicle check on calle Argentina in Valdivia on 5 October 2026, seizing 119.1 grams of processed marijuana alongside ketamine and coca paste. One detainee assaulted an officer while trying to flee, and all four were referred for a detention-control hearing.
Carabineros’ Sección Centauro detained the four adult occupants of a car during
a preventive patrol on calle Argentina in Valdivia.[1]Officers inspecting a
Hyundai Accent saw packets containing substances in plain view and then found
more bags and packets, after which all four occupants were detained.[2]During
the procedure, detainee M.I.V.H., aged 26, tried to flee on foot and then kicked
a carabinero, leaving the officer with minor injuries to a hand and left
forearm.[1]The other detainees were three adults aged 29, 26 and 24, all with
prior criminal records for various offences.[3]
Field tests established 119.1 grams of marihuana elaborada, or processed
marijuana, alongside 22.2 grams of ketamine in six packets and 46.7 grams of
pasta base de cocaína, or coca paste, in nine packets, plus 20 packets with an
inconclusive result.[3]The inspected vehicle had no outstanding orders,
although its circulation permit had expired on 31 August 2026.[1]
The four accused were placed at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor’s Office
and went to a detention-control hearing.[1]A second account confirms that the
four were detained for an alleged drug-law offence by the Sección Centauro in
calle Argentina and then referred to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for a
detention-control hearing.[2]
